Ban the use of horse drawn carriages in temperatures above 80 degrees


Ban the use of horse drawn carriages in temperatures above 80 degrees
The Issue
Horse drawn carriages were once an effective form of transportation before we had other means of transportation but with rising temperatures and the rising weight of the average American there needs to be standards set in place to prevent the torture of these animals
Please watch this video to see what these horses are put through. This video is in New York City but horse drawn carriages are used in places like Mackinac Island. I would like Michigan to be the leader in the kind treatment of animals while still keeping the charm that horse drawn carriages create
I propose the following:
Horses cannot be used to pull carriages as a means of transportation for non agricultural purposes in temperatures above 80 degrees
We need 42,506 signatures to place this on the ballot
